        Reminds me of listening to my non-buffering CD player on the bus ride to school.

        I’d argue that nobody could call this music in the way that normal people understand what music is. It feels like an experiment in sound more than anything.

        A common definition I just looked up on “Music” is:

        vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

        There is none of those in what you’ve linked. No rhythm, no melody, and nothing harmonious.

        So no, it doesn’t fit the definition of Music; therefore, I probably wouldn’t listen to it. I did sample other of the artists tracks like Wat Dong Moon Lek, Himalaya, Ahirya, and all of his pieces are like this. They aren’t really music.

          No rhythm? It’s complicated, changing, but to my ears the whole thing is an exercise in rhythm.

          It’s interesting to me how different people interpret what music means to them. To me I would call this music as it fits the definition of melody

          A pleasing succession or arrangement of sounds.

          Of course that is subjective to everyone. To me Carl Stone’s tracks do have a beautiful melody. To others they feel chaotic, and to some they feel minimalist.

        I think this is music, it even has a proper beat, although some weird backkick 7/33 or something. By the other posters description I imagined something way more extreme haha

      I still don’t listen to much country, but Orville Peck has been a gateway drug. Something about gay cowboy ballads does it for me.

        I mean, even for a country song that was just kinda…I dunno. It feels like with some changes it could be good, but there’s this weird part where the wording feels like it skips a beat because he couldn’t get the beat to synchronize with the cadence of the words. I’ll listen to a lot of country, but there’s still gonna just be bad songs.

            Around 1:03, he completely breaks cadence and the whole rhythm of the song breaks. I don’t know how this could be considered good. Regardless of it being country or not.
